Abstract
The feasibility of using industrial by products namely Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) and Micro silica are used experimentally. The main objective of this work is to increase the use of GGBS, micro silica in construction industry. Also the particle sizes of admixtures have more influence on increase in strength of concrete because of their high surface area and amorphous nature. In this work the comparison is made between to admixtures and their effect on strength of concrete for different curing period. It is seen that surface area plays major role.
